Central Missouri, on high ground ~15 miles east of the very flooded Missouri River. algore says zone 6b, but I plant for zone 5.
My tomato plants are out of their post-transplant funk and starting to do what they’re supposed to do.
Peach and apple trees are loaded. Garlic harvest two-three weeks away. Cucumber plants starting to vine.
I’m not doing much in the garden this year. I have too many other projects that are competing for my time.
“Peach and apple trees are loaded.”
Jealous! I had to leave my mature orchard behind when I sold my other farm. :( But it was a terrific selling point for the young couple that bought it. They are doing SUCH a lovely job of improving my old place. They’re doing all of the improvements I had in the chute before Beau swept me off my feet and further out into the Hinterlands, LOL!
That said, I’m three years in at the ‘new’ old farm (1900) and I’ve added apples, plums, cherries, peaches and pears out here, but we’re a few years off from harvest, though the cherry trees (Northstar) are loaded!
Now, to beat the birds to them, LOL!
I did have SEVEN lovely homegrown strawberries with my breakfast this morning...and I did NOT share. :)
